Compétences Pour Demain in Guinea: 11 young people trained in make-up artistry and special effects

18 March 2024

Testimony Art 1 Finda Martine Leno student at the Institut superieur des Arts Mory Kante in DubrekaThis training course was an opportunity for me to discover film make-up, which is a passion of mine", says Martine Finda LENO, a student at the Institut Supérieur des Arts Mory Kanté in Dubréka, Guinea. Martine is one of 11 young people, including 10 girls, benefiting from training in film make-up organised from 12 to 16 December 2023 at the Laboratoire d'Innovations Sociales (Labis) in Conakry. This is part of the Compétence Pour Demain (CPD) project to support young people in the cultural and creative industries.

« Avant en suivant les films je me demandais comment on arrivait à réaliser certaines représentations. Aujourd’hui, grâce à cette formation, j’ai découvert les différents styles de maquillage cinéma dont le maquillage de composition, utilisé pour composer le personnage au-delà d’un objectif de beauté. J’ai également appris à faire les pastiches (barbe, moustache, sourcils) et les prothèses (le nez, les blessures, les faux crânes) », précise Martine très satisfaite de la formation.

Cette formation qui s’inscrit dans le cadre des activités d’autonomisation des jeunes et elle a permis aux participants d’acquérir des compétences variées leur permettant ainsi de s’insérer dans la vie socio-professionnelle. Et Martine de conclure : « les compétences acquises me permettront de me professionnaliser dans ce domaine ».
